Great sages began as great students.
Your mind shines brightest when you enlighten others; your heart, when you encourage others; your soul, when you elevate others; and your life, when you empower others.
You are no greater than the friends you keep, the books you read, the heroes you admire, and the obstacles you overcome.
Helping yourself is common sense, helping others is virtue, helping yourself and others is enlightenment.
It is wise to buy acquaintances, but foolish to buy friends.
Life is like a sandwich!Birth as one slice,and death as the other.What you put in-between the slices is up to you.Is your sandwich tasty or sour?Allan Rufus.org
Think before you speak. Question before you judge. Examine before you decide.
Trees generously share their fruit.Bees generously share their honey.Flowers generously share their perfume. Do likewise.
Learn from acquaintances, and you are clever; from friends, and you are intelligent; from enemies, and you are shrewd; but learn from all, and you are wise.
Prove to the world that you are alive, let your words breathe life into the nostrils of the universe.
In my youth I had three teachers: friends, enemies, and books. In my adulthood I had three professors: God, nature, and life.
